Greg Taylor said he wants to make more memories with Cambridge United after putting pen to paper on a new deal which will see him stay with the club until the end of the 2019/20 season.

The U’s centre-back celebrated his 200th start earlier on in the year and has had a strong season, nailing down his position and centre-back, while also chipping in at full-back and defensive midfielder when he’s been asked.

And he said that he is happy to be staying at a club where he already has a relationship with the fans.

“Yeah of course I’m happy to still be at the club for another two years. I wanted to stay here, I’ve obviously played quite a lot of games and I’ve got that relationship with the fans,” he said.

“Obviously the promotion and the big games have all been really good and I want to make more memories like that with Cambridge and push towards promotion and the play-offs and have more big cup ties.”

The 28-year-old is now one of the senior players in the U’s squad and said that he wants to further his leadership skills when the contract extension was announced on Wednesday.

And with young players either starting or knocking on the door of the first team, particularly in defence, it’s a point he reiterated.

“I just think I’m coming into the senior years of my career and we’ve got a lot of young lads coming through and I want to help them in games using my experience,” he said.

“Harry [Darling] is a good example as I’ve been helping him but we’ve also got Leon Davies and guys like Brad [Halliday] are still young too.”
